C.A.C. -Title 22, Section 70847, Lodi Memorial Hospital <br />is disposing of infectious waste as follows: <br />All Infectious Waste is placed in double plastic bags, with <br />each bag tied off separately, at the point of origin. The <br />bags are identified with appropriate "Contaminated" labels. <br />These bags are picked up by housekeeping as soon as possible. <br />Housekeeping places these bags into an enclosed Blackwelder <br />Compactor located outside the building. <br />Laboratory waste is autoclaved in the laboratory before being <br />disposed of, by housekeeping, in the compactor. <br />The Compactor is picked up by California Solid Waste Removal <br />of Lodi and taken to the County dump where the waste is buried <br />in accord with all regulations of the San Joaquin Local Health <br />District. The Compactor is then cleaned and sanitized before <br />returning to Lodi Memorial Hospital. <br />We would appreciate a letter currently approving the handling of <br />trash, including infectious waste, at Lodi Memorial Hospital. <br />Thank you for your help in this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />Caroline Stroud, RN <br />Quality Assurance Coordinator <br />CS: dm <br />975 South Fairmont Avenue / Post Office Box 110 / Lodi, California 95241 / (209) 334-3411 <br />
